Wetpaint

I decided to attempt a site designed for both the kindergarten team at my school and for the parents. I used the free site; Wetpaint, and after the initial orientation, found it to be fairly easy to work with. It is certainly nice looking, with different template options for backgrounds and individual page layouts. One major thing about Wetpaint is that it is meant to be a shared site, with spaces on every page to post new threads and collaborate. I'm undecided if this will be a good thing or a negative. If this develops into an actual kindergarten web site where each teacher posts information about their own class, the ability to have multiple editors will be a major bonus. If I continue to be the only contributor, I would probably benefit more from a google site.

I did have a good experience with Wetpaint, and the fact that it is free is just another added bonus. My site is nearly done for now, but I have lots of ideas of how it could be improved upon and things that could be added in the future.
